Beyond those Immediately interested
there is no adequate conception Of the
vastness of the paper bag business.
There are four houses in this city, em-
ploying each about so or go boys and
girls, and running two or three cutting
and pasting machines and printing
presses, that turn bags out by the hun
dreds of thousands every day. The de-
mand is said to be greater than the sup
ply. The orders are not confined TO this
city alone, but come also from distant
towns. A new and ingenious labor-say,,
ing machine, that has. been tested and
worked admirably, is now being set up
in one of these establishments and great
things are expected of it. Straw, white,
and manila are the papers mostly used,
and black ink. Many of the larger gro
cerv houses and variety stores have then
special cut blocks from which their ad-
yertisements are printed. One OF the
bag factories also turns out handles for
packages, but this is a monopoly under
patent rights. .-Nhio York Times,

franklin j. Moses, who, as Governor
of South Carolina, at one time occupied
large share of public attention, but who
was until recently an occupant of the
Massachusetts State Prison, has been par
sloned by Governor Ames. The strange
career of Moses finally eliminated in the
forgery of the name of Thomas Went
worth Higginson, the author, early in the
year 1885. In October of that year he
was sentenced to three years in State
prison. 1t has been represented that
Moses was in poor health and could not
live long.

A powerful syndicate of phosphate
miners and manufacturers has been
formed in South Carolina for the pur-
pose of controlling prices. This is one
of South Cardinals greatest industries.
Last year the aggregate production of
phosphate rock was 440,60 tons, of
which 3s1, ,603 tons were exported and
6s, 900 tons were consumed by the local
fertilizer manufacturing companies. The
aggregate value of this production was,
in round numbers, $4,000, 900. Large
quantities of this rock are shipped to New
York and other Northern ports.

The following from the New York Sun
is to the point: 'If country newspapers
were to publish the names of subscribers
who take, read and enjoy, and are graft
fed by, yet refuse to pay for their home
papers, the reputation of most communi-
ties for moral honesty would depreciate
twenty per cent. An editors labor is
seldom esteemed or compensated. A
lawyer will give you five minutes advice
on topic and charge you S. for it, An
editor will give you advice on a hundred
topics, and charge five cents a copy for
his paper, and very often five cents given
to an editor would save So given to a law
yer. In fact, no other business is so uni
versally robbed and swindled out of their
labor and capital as country newspaper
publishers"

A leading official of Biddeford

A leading official of Biddeford, Me-,
says the Times of that city, has been
troubled of late by small sore appearing
upon his forehead. lie could not ex-
plain its cause, but it kept increasing in
size and soreness. He bathed it with a
healing lotion and covered it with
court plaster, and it still continued to
pain him. One day he discovered the
source of the trouble. 1t was small
green tag which the manufacturer or
merchant had placed upon the band of
his hat. A physician told him that the
sore was the result of poisoning due to
the arsenic in the green tag.

1t will not be long before preparations
for taking the eleventh census will be in
order and yet there are four volumes of
the tenth census that have not been pub
lished yet. This is due in part to the
failure of Congress to make necessary ap-
preparation, but the reason why Con-
gress has refused to do this is because oi
the great delay of the statistican in pre-
pairing the volumes for the press, which,
it is held, has destroyed their usefulness
and made it not worth while to publish
them.

How to Become CompanIonabIe.

1t is, first, to make such an impression
upon others that they will feel contented
in our company. This cannot be if we
have not at least the art of keeping in
the background all our selfish feelings
and our egotism. The person who pos
sesses wealth or grandeur must not con.
tinualy parade that fact; nor the person
possessed of great learning make Others
feel uncomfortable by contrast There
must be a sympathetic response to the
interests of others, and there must be
ability to comprehend their feelings and
preferences, and TO show Difference to theil
peculiarities. II Madame LcphOB,

A City of Contrasts.

Although all on one level, New
Orleans is u town of contrasts, says
Mr.. Warner in Harper's Magazine. In
no other city of the United States or
Mexico is the old and the romantic
presented in such integrity and brought
into such sharp contrast to the mod
ern. There are many handsome pub
lie buildings, churches, club-houses ,ele-
CANT shops, and on the American side
a great area Of Well-Paved streets,sol-
idly built up in business blocks. The
square of the original city, included
between the river and canal, Rampant
and Esplanade streets, which was
once surrounded by a wall, is as close
ly built, but the streets are narrow the
houses generally are smaller, and al
though it swarms with people, and
contains the cathedral, the old Span
ish buildings, Jackson square, the
French market, the French Opera
House and other theaters, the mint,
the custom House, the old Ursuline
Convent (now the residence OF the
Archbishop, old banks, and score
OF houses OF historic celebrity, it is O
city ofthe past, and especially interest
Ing in its picturesque decay. Beyond
this, eastward and northWar6 extend
ed interminable streets of small
houses, with now AID then adowery
court or a pretty rose-garden, occu-
pied mainly by people of French or
Spanish decent. The African per-
vades all parts of the town, except
the new resident portion of the
American quarter. This, which occu-
pies the vast area in the bend OF the
river west of the business blocks as
far as Carroiiton, is in character a
great village rather than a city.
Not all it's broad avenues and
handsome streets are paved tand
those that are not are in some sea-
sons impassable) its houses are near
" all OF wood, MOST of them de-
tached, with plats of ground and
gardens, and as the quarter is
very well shaded, the effect is
bright and agreeable. In it are
many stately residences, occupying q
square or half q square, and emboW-
cred in foliage and flowers. Care has
been given lately to turf culture, and
one sees here thickset and handsome
lawns. The broad Esplanade street,
with it's elegant old-fashioned houses
and double rows OF shade trees, which
has long been the rural pride Of the
French quarter, has now rivals in re-
spectability and style on the Ameri-
can side.

THE MOOD OF THE CAR.
Why There is No Need OF Imputlug Insanity to
the Emperor OF Russia.

Why There is No Need Of Impatlng insanity to
the Emperor Of Russia.
From the Spectator.
There is not a man in the world
more deeply to be pltied than the
present emperor OF Russia. The lone
illness of kings, a loneliness naturally
resulting from their place, which hard
ly admits Of friendship, and does not
admit OF equality, is always terrible,
and is frequently felt by themselves so
severely that they break through ali
restraints OF prudence and moral law
in order to be rid Of it. Rather than
not have friends, people before whom
they can disrobe their minds and sit
in mental slippers, they will give all
power to favOrites, or to women who
could be bought without any such sac
ritiCes OF their states or their subjects.
The loneliness OF a czar as absolute
as a Caesar and as swiftly Obeyed, so
far above his subjects that Count Toll
stei, in the admirable series OF historic
sketches which he calls "War and
Peace and issues q novel, describes
mobiles as fainting with agitation at
the sight of him, must he almost shock
ing. He is so utterly master, can so
completely and instantly make and
unmake, the hostile exertion of his
will, if he exerted it, would be so dead
Iy in it's force that he can have no true
equal, or friend or easy companion.
He may, like ! .xNnder II, try to
be bon Camerade, or like many cars,
surround himself with mistresses; but
the distance remains always too
great for true friendship, or for any
perfect alienation from society Of
the troubles OF the mind, any light
ening Of that burden of empire which,
whenhis word is always final, so press,
es on the conscience even of ev il
kings. 1t is scarcely possible to be
wholly disinterested with a car, ifon-
Iy for the terrible powers his mere
friendship places in your hands, scarce
Iy, possible, either, for the car not
to perceive or to suspect in every SEN
tence uttered some concealed intent.
In any nature such a position must
beeet habitual suspicion; and
when the car is by nature, or has be-
come through cruel experience, gloomy,
reserved and unsoCial, the suspic-
i~ousness must rise into a. mastering
passion.
Add that the car has been driven by
the Nihilists into a life OF almost ut
ter ]seclusion; that he has reason to
fear for his life at every hour in the
day and from the most unlikely quar-
ters; that he is deprived of intimates
by his virtues as well a by the dread
he inspires, and that he hasno chill
dren old enough to share his thoughts,
and we may imagine to what heights
suspiciousness may rise in him and
low neal to the source of fury every
thought may lie.

five deaths, and has practically wiped
out the masculine portion OF both

but it was by Liddell's friends and

such feuds. They came to Jones's
